Iqbal Theba: Principal Figgins

Quotes 

• Sue Sylvester : Here's a list of the kids I want shipped off to New York with thirty-five bucks in their pocket. Operation Madonna is now complete.

  Principal Figgins : Sue, these are all Glee kids.

  Sue Sylvester : Yep.

  Principal Figgins : Um... I... I'm sorry, Sue. I'm having trouble concentrating. Your new look is...

  Sue Sylvester : [wearing a copy of Madonna's cone-cup bra over her tracksuit]  Fantastic. Yeah, I agree.

  Principal Figgins : Unncessary. Sue, you're a powerful woman. You don't need to copy anyone else. You're an original, just like Madonna. Don't lose that quality.

  Sue Sylvester : Do you mean that, or are you just saying that because I poked a couple of kids' eyes out before second period today?

• Sue Sylvester : I'm instating a new policy whereby we play Madonna's Greatest Hits over the P.A. system, quite loudly, throughout the entire school day.

  Principal Figgins : But blasting her delicious hooks would make it impossible for the students to concentrate.

  Sue Sylvester : Ah, who cares? Madonna never finished college. She hopped a cab for the bright lights of New York City with thirty-five bucks in her pocket. And I think we should encourage our pupil to do the same. You say the word, and I will provide you a list of the students I believe should be rounded up and shipped off immediately.

  Principal Figgins : I am sorry, Sue. This is insanity!

  Sue Sylvester : What you call insanity, I call inspiration. Let me break it down for you. It's been the biggest dream of my career to pay homage to Madonna, the woman most responsible for my take no prisoners demeanor, and my subconcious tendency to always be desperately looking for someone named Susan. And now my Cheerios squad this year finally has the talent to make that dream come true. You will not take that dream from me. Do you not understand the blackmail process and how it works?

  [flashback to them in bed, Sue fully clothed] 

  Sue Sylvester : [taking a selfie with her camera]  Smile.

  [back to real time] 

  Sue Sylvester : I have your wife's number on speed dial. To recap, you will be playing those Madonna hits throughout the day at an earsplitting volume. Understood?
